We suggest you update the firmware through the Sansa Firmware Updater. There is even a how-to video that explains the process. If for any reason the Sansa Firmware Updater does not work for you, feel free to continue by trying the more "computer savy" steps described below.

::: Firmware :::

The 01.03.02 firmware is the latest release as of June 30, 2008 for the Sansa View. Firmware and release notes are available below.

WARNING: If you have an "F" firmware version on your device, you won't be able to update to an "A". But an "A" to an "F" version will work.

Once extracted, drag all files to the root directory of your Sansa View.

Disconnect the Sansa View and let it restart. (see notes below)

The firmware update will now begin.

Once it's finish with the update, it will boot back up. Go to the main menu, then select Settings / Options > System Settings, and verify the "Version" is now 01.03.02.

Notes:

Upon completion of the firmware upgrade, the device will restart. If the restart does not initiate or complete, press & hold the Power switch for 8 seconds to reset the device and then release and press again to restart.

The Preloaded video from the 01.01.06 version on the View will no longer playback with this version of the firmware. The video playback specifications for the View has not changed

::: 01.03.02 Release Notes :::

Fixes:

Pressing “Now Playing” after a Rhapsody Channel update will cause the View to hang up and must be restarted

Audiobook: Audible bookmarks are not recognized by Audible Manager

Inconsistent battery life for music playback

When a music file’s ID3 tag has no track number and title, player can not sort by file name

No pause before scrolling text in select box and music playback window

Power saver option does not turn off the player

Enhancements:

Added Auto Detect and MSC USB modes

Removed skipping of video to the previous/next

When the backlight is off, the keys are still responsive: right/left/scroll up/scroll down/menu/option keys

I thought you had fixed the bad battery life issue which was introduced with the 1.02.09 firmware (10-12 hours max with music). But the battery life is just as bad with 1.03.02. It did fix the lockups when using random playback though. Can the battery life be fixed to be as good as it was with 1.01.06. I got 20+ hours with that one.
